BAZEILLES

The church Saint Martin of Bazeilles

The new neo-Gothic church was solemnly inaugurated on 28 April 1904 by Cardinal Langénieux, Archbishop of Reims. It is large and much bigger than the old church. It has luminous stained glass windows inspired by Art Nouveau. Donated by benefactors, these windows evoke the lives of Saint-Martin and Saint-Louis, and one of them, representing a group of officers, pays tribute to the soldiers who sacrificed themselves in the defence of Bazeilles in 1870.
